Lemon Crackle Bars

https://cookiesfordays.com

3/4 cup melted butter

1 1/4 cup granulated sugar

8 oz white chocolate, chopped

2 eggs

2 tbsp corn syrup

3/4 tbsp lemon bakery emulsion or extract

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a microwave safe bowl, add the butter and melt completely.

Stir the granulated sugar into the butter and microwave for 1 minute.

Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer or to your bowl you like to use with your electric hand mixer.

With the whisk attachment, slowly whisk the mixture while breaking your white chocolate bar into the butter and sugar mixture. Allow the mixer to continue mixing until all of the white chocolate has melted into the mixture.

Continue mixing and add two eggs to the mixture.

While the mixer is still on, add the corn syrup and lemon emulsion. Mixing until well combined.

Slow your mixer down to the lowest setting and slowly add in the flour and salt. Mixing until well combined.

Pour into the prepared 9x9 baking pan. Drop the pan on the counter several times to pop any air bubbles and even the brownie batter.

Bake at 350° F for 25-30 minutes or until the brownies rise, the edges start to crack and a toothpick comes out mostly clean when pressed into the center.

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan completely before cutting- the brownies will deflate a lot once they come out of the oven, that is normal. Cut and enjoy!
